galagiveaways.com, from the people who brought you the indie gala bundles. there doesn't seem to be a max cap on points, and you get points from having a high value of games in your account and from creating giveaways there. not much to it yet, but since we're all on a giveaway site now it might be worth checking out. i'd rather give away my stuff here because of the community, but i understand some people just want free stuff.

The site looks kinda fishy.
Is it really a part of IndieGala and is it safe?

Thanks. I didn't find much about it online, and I'm not tempted at risking all my games on silly DOTA 2.

Epic fail, you can price items as you want and reap hefty points for freebie games.

You've been awarded with 439461 points!

This site is doesn't appear to be run by Indie Gala, unless using different domain registers, hosts and private registers is typical when opening a new site.

Why do you say that? It says numerous things that strongly imply that it is.
"Gala Giveaways is the new awesome IndieGala website where everybody can win great Steam games!
From AAA titles to indie gems, play with us and you can have it for free!"
"GalaPoints are special bonus points that you can earn buying indiegala bundles.
The more money you spend on indiegala, the more bundles you buy, gifts you made, the more galapoints you get.
GalaPoints can then be spent on the Galastore. When Galagiveaways.com will end its beta period, we will introduce the possibility
to convert also part or all the galapoints balance of indiegala users into GWP."

I don't believe everything I read and do my own research. Those do not have similarities in anyway which would lead me to believe they are separate.

i heard of it through indie gala's twitter feed: here it is

i agree with you though that it's odd for them to use a private registration and also maybe a little odd to use a different registrar. also, when they opened their store they just made a subdomain (store.indiegala.com) so don't know why they didn't do something like giveaways.indiegala.com here -- maybe they didn't want it to say "indie" this time?

LOL. You don't get your points back if you leave a giveaway. I just lost 150000 points that way.

So I put up a giveaway for Cargo: The quest for gravity for over 400K points and somebody actually entered. I was fully expecting no one to enter. I wanted to see if they actually gave out points on a 0 entry giveaway. Guess I'll have to try again and make the entry cost even higher

Is there even a way to delete a giveaway? If not then you have to give the winner his game, since in the later stage of beta stuff will be cleared up, and fake giveaway creators will most likely be banned.

Yeah, I made sure it was a game I could giveaway just in case. I'm just surprised that anyone entered at that price. Probably somebody with no plans to use the site again.

Well, it's certainly entertaining for a first try. :)

I assume they had a closed beta-test with normal people, and weren't prepared for all the random internet people hijinks.

you'd think with them giving away their bundles here they'd have looked around enough to understand some of the issues facing a giveaway site...

You can't actually use galapoints yet. That's a planned feature.

wow, i quickly won 3 giveaways all for the same game -- didn't think the odds would be that good! two of the gifters sent me the gift, and neither of their steam profile names or e-mail addresses matched up with any of the giveaways i won. i was able to match them up by profile picture though. i marked the two as received and valid and then somebody sent me a rude e-mail saying i marked it not received and left negative feedback. not sure if that person is an idiot or if gala giveaways sent him the wrong message.

i think i'll wait for them to get more of it figured out.

Same exact thing (though only won one game) happened to me just now, about negative feedback. I am guessing there is problem with the system.

Anyone else think the point system is retarded? I don't understand why the more games you have, the more points you start off with... ( I have a good amount of points, 260k but still think it's dumb. )

It really is like the rich just get richer. lol

Well, you loose them pretty much. But I see the problem that there are practically unlimited points.

That wasn't my point. It's that the point system makes 0 sense.

i thought it was backwards to give people with a lot of games to begin with the most points starting out. when i'm giving away games i'd rather have them go to someone who doesn't have many games.

lol so you get points from the amt of points YOU set your own giveaway... of course people will put the amt of points as high as they can to get back the most points

I wouldn't say it's abusing it at all. If someone is willing to spend 199999 on a game, and no one else is, they have a 100% chance to win that game. They get a game for free, and it was totally up to them to spend that much.
